I'm getting below error while building AppImage for linux on windows OS.

can any one please tell me that is this service issue or my application configuration issue ?

I have the same problem

I get same error for linux-build but windows build is OK.

I have some problem, can you tell me how do you build electron-app for linux?

Unfortunately the https://service.electron.build has been down since months and it doesn't seem that such issue will be fixed anytime soon, as we can see from the amount of (mostly open) GitHub issues that have been opened from users that are trying to deal with such problem in the past months.

Here's a viable alternative to build a redistributable Linux package on a Windows 10 environment: I'll try to explain it using a step-by-step approach in order to make it as easy as possible for those who don't know Docker well.

• Install Docker from here
• Download the electronuserland/builder Docker image with the following console command:
  docker pull electronuserland/builder
• From the Electron project's root folder (such as C:\MyApp), type the following command-line command to run the container and map the Electron project's root folder to the /project virtual path:
  docker run -rm -ti -v C:\MyApp\:/project -w /project electronuserland/builder
• From inside the container, type the following commands to upgrade the Electron project's Yarn packages, globally install the electron-builder package and build the Linux redistributable package:

cd /project
yarn upgrade
yarn global add electron-builder
electron-builder -l

If everything went smooth, you should be able to locate your MyApp.deb file (or rpm, AppImage, or anything you've configured within the electron-builder's package.json file) inside the Electron project's /dist/ folder.

For further info about this whole procedure and a bit of background, check out this post on my blog.

This also seems to work with just wsl instead of docker (at least for me)

Hi @ScribbleNerd, that's good to know!

It works，but the command should be:
docker run --rm -ti -v C:\MyApp\:/project -w /project electronuserland/builder
The -rm flag should be --rm

How to get it packaged with WSL 2 ? Care to provide how to map the windows project path?
I have WSL2 with Ubuntu 20xx setup but don't know how to get it packaged.

Update December 2021

It's still like that

Bump. Help.

[tomwolfgang]

@A-Eugene reading this thread makes me understand that there is no plan on fixing this and the workaround is to use the docker image
